TIRRA Bylaw Changes

As presented at the TIRRA October General Meeting, TIRRA is revising the Bylaws to meet new government requirements. 

The New Societies Act & Transition

The Societies Act came into effect November 28, 2016 and governs how societies (not-for-profit corporations) are created and run in B.C. The Act includes significant updates to allow for more flexibility in how societies operate, while still protecting the public interest.
